Code: Infinity [Reboot]

Chapter 26 - 'Higher' Level World? More like Higher Entertainment.

*Creak*

The window by the Viscount's room slowly opened as a person wearing a stylish black overcoat entered the room. The sound made due to opening the window was so small that no one could be alerted by it.

With a swift but soundless way, the assassin quickly reached to the bed where the Viscount was sleeping on and held out his sword.

*Bang*

Just as he was about to kill the Viscount, he heard a band noise as he suddenly felt an shard pain in his hands. Then suddenly he felt someone hitting his head, then everything went dark for him.

-

"Ugh."

"Where am I... Huh?"

Feeling his legs and hands tied to a steel chain over a laboratory bed, Sudou looked around in confusion. He saw how he was in a laboratory with a completely white-walled room. Clarity slowly returned to his mind as he quickly tried to free himself, 'How the hell did I get caught!? I have to quickly escape!'

"Oh? You are finally awake! khehehe."

Sudou's eyes widened as he looked at the glass widow by the laboratory bed to which he was attached and grimaced as he looked at the crazy scientist-looking person.

His heart started to beat fast, but realizing his 'mission', he acted crazily, trying to break free from the straps put on him. His mind was in confusion as if it was a mess. He knew the reason why he was there and not at the same time.

"This is great! Now I can take out information from you. Kehehe. I hope you don't reveal anything hehe. The more you resist, the more fun it would be kehehe."

"Hmm! Mhhuh!"

*Swish*

With a swish sound, a door suddenly opened up in the room as the crazy scientist entered the room, followed by two soldiers, making Sudou struggle more. But the more he struggled, the more the scientist smiled in craziness.

'Why the hell did I even enter the mansion and try to assassin the Viscount?'

What he didn't know was that his previous brown eyes had now turned into a bit aqua color. His body was more toned, his teeth were sharper and he looked younger. It was as if he was reborn and had his body redesigned from the very core.

He thought about how he was in the place he is now. The last suspicious thing he remembered was the 'Ryo' guy insisting on making food for him when he himself was ready to make food for both of them.

---

"Hmm. So you are saying that this is the information that was understood by the torturer, right?"

The Viscount looks at the report with a hand over his mouth as he takes a deep breath. His eyes had turned sharper as he looked at the report. After going through the report again, he looked up at the crazy scientist in front of him, who was sweating with a scared smile standing between two soldiers.

"Take care of him. Send some other guards after you leave this room."

"Yo-Your majesty! You can't do this to me! I am from the main healer team itself! Others will become upset about this! You can't kill me! Your Majest-! Muff!"

The soldiers quickly hit the cheeks of the scientists, making a few of his teeth fall on the ground. They then quickly dragged him out of the room, leaving behind the noble with a hand on his face.

"Hehehehe! Hahaha hehehe hahahhahaha!"

With a creepy grin, the noble wasn't able to hold back his laughter. As he laughed he stood up from his chair, making it fall on the ground, and danced to the middle of the room. On the other hand, soon four or so soldiers enter the room and are astonished to see their master dance in the middle of the room.

"Kill the two soldiers who are taking care of the person who I ordered them to."

"As you wish, Lord Viscount."

*Creak*

"Hehehe... Hehahahhahahahaha!"

In excitement, the Viscount smiled and with a swirl, he reached to his desk and hit it with such force that it broke in two, revealing the bottle containing the blue pills without any hesitation he popped the lid off and dropped the content of the bottle in his mouth while smiling crazily.

From what he learned from the assassin, these pills were the result of their experiment. But out of greed, their lead researcher sold the pills to the black market but before the news could go out, he was murdered while the 'Shadow Garden' started to hunt for the pills.

What amazed him was that these pills turned out to be something amazing. It was said that each of these pills increased the power of the consumer by twice and the assassin sent for the hunt for these pills had consumed one of the pills, which was evident in how strong he was.

Alongside the strength, it also increases the lifespan of the consumer by a decade.

This information made him feel incredible. Who doesn't want to live longer and have more power!?

What he didn't know was that on the other side of the mansion, a guy with hunter-green hair and eyes was also looking in his direction with his eyes narrowed and a gleeful smile.

'Hehe~ It was all worth it~ I was amazed to learn that the mayor was actually a family member of the Viscount and to not get killed in the competition for becoming the heir, he decided to leave and become the mayor of the Campbell town.'

'Although I do have to say that even in this corrupted world, family members do care about each other, which is quite opposite to what I had thought. Nonetheless, the people here turned out to be more cautious & more logical than I thought.'

'It could have been a bit too interesting if everyone was a bit too smarter and cautious. My mind suggestion could become useless for people who have strong willpower and minds. In the end, it won't matter.'

'The only thing more interesting is that, unlike the previous world, where it took a person a few hours to a day to turn into my slave, people have much stronger 'anti-biotics' making it either hard for my 'pills' to work on them, taking it a few days; or downright don't work at all.'

'Now I understand why this 'World' is considered a 'Higher' level one. The people just have stronger 'resistance' to my manipulation the more they are relevant to the 'plot'. Wonder how the 'World Will' will try to remove me?'

'I am quite excited to see how the 'World Will' use its Paradox Energy. If the previous world was low-level, then this world should have more than four times the Paradox Energy than the last one.'

'Heh. Killing me? Is this 'World' that strong and smart?'

Thinking that Ryo's face was covered with his usual 'smile'. Retracting his 'mind-manipulative' waves that he had been sending to manipulate the Viscount to make him a bit less paranoid and decided to do some random stuff till his pill took effect.

'Hope I get to see some sort of challenge. Not just some manipulative, but physical and mental. Otherwise, it will be very boring.'

' 'Higher' Level World? Heh. More like higher levels of Entertainment.'
